The legion's strength is now
close to 20,000 men. In times of
peace Its effectives nre normally
not employed In Franco proper,

term of service shall be rotated
from Africa to the Far East nnd

French high command tries to live
up to tho old recruiting promise of
"Join the army and seo the world.'

In these first Spring days, when "Old Sol" begins the warminsr
of the earth in preparation of bringing forth the harvests of
the fields, one's ambition is renewed one's pulse beats a little
faster, and the appetite is a little keener.
During the Winter period, when time was not of such potential
value, you no doubt gave the matter of a permanent Summer
trading place thought and investigation. If so, we believe yon
found SKAGG'S STORES good, dependable stores. Our stores
have always been SAVING stores, but never have we been in
